About Central Illinois CHADD:  The satellite is managed by a a dedicated volunteer.   This is a NEW group established on 2/26/2010 and is in the process of developing a meeting schedule and location.  Presentations and support group meetings will soon be listed here.

Meetings are FREE, however CHADD groups are financially supported by memberships and donations, so we kindly ask you to consider joining CHADD or donating online to help support our mission of improving the lives of those affected by AD/HD.  Your CHADD membership or donation will help support our chapter. 

Download our flyer and post it on your fridge/bulletin board as a reminder or to pass along to your clients.


Our contact information: 

We do have an email address that is checked weekly.  central-illinois@chadd.net

Do you need information and resource help? As a volunteer, I try to respond as quickly as possible to all requests about our local CHADD group.

However, if you have a more pressing need for information or assistance about the many aspects of dealing with AD/HD (including diagnosis, treatment options, educational rights, etc.), please contact CHADD’s National Resource Center on AD/HD (NRC), online at www.help4adhd.org or by phone at 800-233-4050 (press option 2, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm Eastern time).  

The NRC is staffed by trained Health Information Specialists who can answer many of your questions about AD/HD and provide other helpful information and resources.  (NOTE: although the NRC does not provide legal, medical or other professional advice, Specialists can offer ideas and suggestions to help you find what you are looking for).

Community resources and national resources:  We have a list of local non-profit organizations, national organizations and CHADD professional and organizational members who have requested to be in our directory in the area in the links section.

Our Programs and Services:

  • Speaker Presentations & Support Groups:  We will soon provide the details about the date, time, location the meetings & events section of this website. 

    Donations (tax deductible) and CHADD membership fees are accepted at the door.

    Please visit the meetings and events section for more information. 

  • Parent training:  CHADD's Parent to Parent training on AD/HD. The entire course takes about 14 hours of time and is usually offered as a seven-week class, meeting for two hours once a week. Participants receive extensive materials to support them, including articles, reference materials, handouts, and homework assignments.  There is a fee for the class and it is only available to CHADD members.  You can join CHADD when you register for the class or you can join CHADD online or by calling 800-233-4050.
